Selected odds by:

(1)

Napper Tandy⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: A M Balding| OR: 83

13/8

7/1, creditable third of 15 in handicap at Lingfield (1½m, AW) on Good Friday. Returns from a short break with his stable going well. Thereabouts under Buick.

Form: 153-543

(5)

In The Breeze¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: M Appleby| OR: 82

7/1

Better effort for new stable when fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (1½m) 13 days ago. May build on that but he'll need to.

Form: 3102-74

(2)

Trinity Girl²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 80| C

10/1

Course winner February. 9/1, good second of 5 in handicap at this course (2m) 26 days ago, clear of rest.

Form: 115702

(3)

Arabian Warrior^v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 79

5/2

Visored for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) 17 days ago, kept up to work. Has a pretty solid AW record and 5 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid.

Form: 6F/9-361

(4)

Sea Appeal²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: R Hughes| OR: 78

10/3

Fair winner up to 1¾m in Ireland for Sheila Lavery. Better effort for his new stable when second to Bague D'or (won again at Ascot on Saturday) at Newmarket (1¾m) last month. Likely to be in the thick of things.

Form: 2110-62

Forecasts

Napper Tandy (13/8), Arabian Warrior (5/2), Sea Appeal (10/3), In The Breeze (7/1), Trinity Girl (10/1)

A tight handicap. ARABIAN WARRIOR only had to be kept up to his work to score at Newcastle last time so may be up to defying a rise in the weights. Sea Appeal's Newmarket second was boosted when the winner went in again at Ascot on Saturday so he could be the one to give the selection most to do.
